hi all, relatively new to all this, starting off with sum really cheap equipment but just a quick wiring question. I have an SPLX amp and sub but how do i wire the sub to the amp for best bass? the amp has 4 outputs (L+,L-,R+ and R-)
which two do i use for my sub or can i combine them somehow for better sound? Please any helps appreciated...
Cheers people |

it depends on the rms of your sub, you dont want to bridge the amp if your sub cant handle the power |

If the sub is a single voice coil driver then hook the L- and the R+ up to the sub(This is called bridging, only do it if the amplifier is bridgable and if the amp can handle the electrical load of the sub, ohms)
If the amp is a dual voice coil driver then wire one voice coil to the L and one to the R. |

Do what nnnick b. said for the single voice coil sub
Its a SVC sub, about 99% chance its 4 ohm
Id be willing to bet that amp is bridgable too. |

alright thanks people, done that and it sounds good! I think the amp is bridgeable as the terminals are marked "crossovers" :-) |
